California's Approach To Homelessness: That's Not How This Works

Even as a homeless fellow was using aisle 10 of a San Francisco's Safeway as an open sewer last weekend, the thinking in Sacramento and city halls across California remained mired in the "We need more money" mindset.

California freely spends other people's money on the homeless, just as anyone would expect a Democrat-dominated state to do.

"LA Is Spending Over $1 Billion to House the Homeless. It's Failing," Reason TV."San Jose leaders approve mayor's spending plan to help end homelessness, add affordable housing," ABC 7 News, Bay Area."Homeless hearing on Skid Row: Millions spent, but no improvement, officials say," ABC 7 News, Los Angeles.

The misery has reached the point that nearly half of the nation's homeless who sleep on the streets and in other public places are in California.

It's truly an understatement when the the Acton Institute says that "Government policies to reduce homelessness may have made the situation worse." California enables and encourages homelessness through an assortment of questionable measures.

It's made up of government bureaucracies, and homeless advocacy groups, the more radical of which regard homeless humans as an endangered species that cannot be removed from its natural habitat.

Expenditures on the homeless aren't effective in part because the funds become a magnet and crutch for the homeless.
